Register for this program today if:

You are tired of trying to change the patterns that keep you from moving forward to lose weight and be the healthy person you've always admired

You are ready for an adventure, a change of pace, and an opportunity to step out of the sameness of each day to move into and kickstart a new and lasting chapter in your life

You are constantly suffering for niggly pains, fatigue, and health upsets that prevent you from really starting your path to weightloss and health management (*please note, if you are suffering from any physical impairment or discomfort, please check with you doctor before registering for the event ).

You are tired, stressed, overworked, overweight, and in need of an alternative journey to gently and lovingly take you deep into the underlying causes of your emotional and physical sludginess and guide you to an enlivening excitingly new experience of an integrated self.

You yearn to be a part of a genuinely supportive group of same minded people, where your value, and your needs, your wishes, and your dreams, can be heard and felt by others, as you explore and transform toward the personal changes you want to make

You are ready to change and you look forward to meeting new and like minded people

Anna and Gordon will take you on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and healing, which will activate the changes you want to make as you easily and dynamically break out of self-sabotaging and limiting old habits, fears, and experiences of rejection, to ignite the life spark that will go on to fuel the fire of your new essential self, as a happy, healthy, naturally slimming, congnitively, and emotionally clarified being.

Is it worth it?

We have thought about this question for a long time. We believe that the value of stepping out of a familiar environment, the rehab model, can be a powerful catalyst to change. There are some problems with the 'rehab model' that can at times undermine the longevity of the treatment rehab retreats can offer. We have probably all heard of the proverbial rehab patient who after leaving the facility free of the addictions and constraints that held him down before, finds that once he is out and back into his usual and familiar surrounds, he lapses very quickly at the slightest recurrance of earlier triggers.

We have addressed this very real problem with Resource Therapy which will underpin the entire program of change you will be experiencing. Resource Therapy attends to the personality part that needs to change, and not the part of ourselves that is already healthy, such as the part that decides that you no longer want to be overweight, sluggish, overstressed, or unhealthy. That part, is a healthy part. It observes all that is wrong in our lives and concludes that change is needed. But the part that actually needs to change is far more complex in its role in our unwanted behaviour. It is the part that usually does not want to change because it sees its role as the protector or terminator of unpleasant feelings, anxieties, fears, and deeply embedded feelings of rejection.

Resource Therapy attends to the powerful parts that incur unwanted behaviours respectfully and caringly. RT acknowledges the good intentions , not behaviour, of those parts, and helps them to find a way to help equally as well, in ways that all parts of the personality will admire and respect.

RT attends to the anxious, frightened, rejected, confused, dissonent, or conflicted parts of us that feel stuck and out of rythm with life's flow. It attends to those parts of us that are out of sync, carrying feelings of being misunderstood, hurt, rejected, or unloved, using deeply focussed, non-threatening, respectful and gentle techniques.

During your 10 Day Ignite Your Light program, you will have the opportunity to experience 4 individually spaced personal Resource Therapy sessions with Dr Emmerson, internationally hailed as one of the world's most reknowned leaders in personality parts therapy, and founder of Resource Therapy.

Let us help you release unwanted behaviours that have in the past prevented you from being the healthy, fit, slim, person you want to be.

Ignite Your Light is a clinically designed therapeutic program that will gently, supportively, dynamically, and thoroughly release your unwanted behaviours, feelings, and emotions, that have repeatedly blocked your path to change

Ignite Your Light is a project that promises to bring you a culmination of over 50 years of combined therapeutic and training experience, knowledge, and wisdom.

Take 2 weeks out of 52, and spend 10 full days (two weekday blocks of 5 days each) to enter an adventure of self-discover and release. Are you ready to change? Are you ready to facilitate the opportunity for you to truly heal the blocks that have held you back in the past, as well as take yourself on a deeply inspiring learning journey, inclusive of enjoyable therapeutic excerse experiences designed to help you smile, motivate, and inspire you in every way?

We will help you change your lifestyle habits for once and for all, as long as you know what you are ready to change. This is truly an opportunity not to be missed. We expect this to be as popular and as successful as our practitioner training programs Ubud, have been.

Join us in Ubud, Bali and let us show you how to change your lifestyle from rut to strutt and ignite your light to be the person you want to be, to enjoy inner harmony and to find the permanent resources you have within you that will enable you to happily and easily make the changes you want to make.
